TANeLeFooT HAS NO RIGHTS.
So i'm Effect Declares the Supreme Court
in the Kansas Case.


WASHINGTON CRY, Dec. 6-Justice Harlan
delivered the opinion of the supreme court in
the two so-called Prohibition cases of Joseph
Mugler, plaintiff in error, vs.. the state of
Kansas, and in the case of the state of Kan
sas VS.. Herman Zebold and others, affirm
ing the judgment of the lower court in the
Zebold case. The effect of this opinion is to
declare valid the Prohibition laws of the
state of Kansas, and is of course, victory
for the Prohibitionists.
He said that the case came up under the
laws of Kansas declaring the maintenance Of
building for the manufacture and sale OF
intoxicants a misdemeanor. 1t was con-
tended that this law was unconstitutional, be
cause it abridged the rights of citizens in
property without due process of law, the
building used as brewery being of little
value for any other purpose.
Justice Harlan said it had been held re-
peatsdly that the right of a state to regulate
the sale of liquor did not invade the consti-
tutional rights of the citizen. 1t was con-
tended. however, he said, that no state
legislature had a right to prohibit
any person from manufacturing liquor
for his own use or for export,
for the reason that it was an Invasion of the
personal liberty Inherent in citizens. 1t must
be observed, however, hs said, that the right
to manufacture drink for ones own use, is
subject to the restriction that it shall not in
iuriously affect the public The right to de-
termine what was injurious had to exist
somewhere, and the right of determining
what measures are necessary for the preser
walton of the public morals, health
and safety had therefore baen vested in
the states by the constitutional right given
them under the police power to regulate
their own Internal concern While this
police power conld not he abused aud must
be exercised Tor objects of real merit, this
court would certainly not say that the liquor
traffic was not one which the state could
lawfully prohibit because it was well
known that the abuse of intoxicants was
| productive Of pauperisn and crime.
The next ground Of contention, the justice
said, was that as the breweries had been
erected prior to the passage of the Prohibi
| ton law, and as they were of little use ex
4 cept for hreweries, their property was taker
without due process of law in violation oil
the constitution. But all property under oul
form of government, he held, is subject tt
the obligation that it shall not he used so as tt
injuriously affect the rights of the community
| and thereby hecoma nuisance The stat,
| of Kansas had a right to prohibit the liquor
traffic 1t did not thereby take away tn,
| property of brewers 1t simply abated
nuisance. The property is not taken away
from its owners; they are only prohibite,
from using it for a specific purpose which the
legislature declared to be Injurious to the
| community.

SOME STATE SOVEREIGNTY
Laid Down by the Supreme Court That
Seems to Omit Nnthinp

WASHINGTON CITY Dec q A decision was
rendered by the United States supreme Mon
day afternoon in the Virginia haheas corpus
cases of Attorney General Ayers and Com
monwealth Attorneys Scott and McCahe,
who were imprisoned by order of Judge Bond,
of the United States circuit court, for DISC
bedience to restraining order forbidding
them to bring suits for the collection
of taxes in cases where tenders have
been mnde by tax-receivahle coupons cut
from state bonds. This court, in a very
long and elaborate opinion by Justice Mat
thews, holds that the suit in which Judge
Bond issued the restraining order in the Cir
cult court, although nominally suit against
individuals, is in reality a suit against the
state of Virginia and such forbidden by
the eleventh amendment to the federal con-
stitution; that the United States circuit
court had, therefore, no authority to enter
tain such suit; that in sodoing, and in issuing
a restraining order tn prevent the officers of
the state from dischargng their duties under
the laws of the state, Judge Bond was act
ing without constitutional warrant and
that the restraining order, and all subss
quent proceedings under it. including the ar
rest and imprisonment OF the petitioners were
illegal and without authority The court
therefore directs that the petitioners, Attor-
ney General Ayres, and Commonwealth At
| torneys Scott and McCabe he at once dis
| charged
| The opinion, which is that of the whole
court, without dissenting voice, sustains the
state Of virginia at all points, and virtually
| declares that state, as political sovereignty,
| can not be sued nor coerced in the federal
courts, either by an action brought against
her by name or by an action brought against
her officers in their official capacity. The
| court declares that the eleventh amendment
establishes a distinction between contracts
made by individuals with each other, and con-
tracts made by individuals with state. The
latter class can not he enforced by the rene
dies used to enforce the former that is, by
suits in the United States courts-and they
| are, therefore, without sanction except in SC
far as such sanction is given to them by the
honor and good faith of the contracting
state. Such state may consent to be sued in
| its own courts or in the federal courts for
breach of contract, but it may at any time
| withdraw such consent and resume its SOW
ereignty, and it can not then be judicialiy
coerced at the request of an individual
